| CVE-2026-25998 | 1 Strongswan | 1 Strongman | 2026-06-17 | N/A | 7.5 HIGH |
| strongMan is a management interface for strongSwan, an OpenSource IPsec-based VPN. When storing credentials in the database (private keys, EAP secrets), strongMan encrypts the corresponding database fields. So far it used AES in CTR mode with a global database key. Together with an initialization vector (IV), a key stream is generated to encrypt the data in the database fields. But because strongMan did not generate individual IVs, every database field was encrypted using the same key stream. An attacker that has access to the database can use this to recover the encrypted credentials. In particular, because certificates, which have to be considered public information, are also encrypted using the same mechanism, an attacker can directly recover a large chunk of the key stream, which allows them to decrypt basically all other secrets especially ECDSA private keys and EAP secrets, which are usually a lot shorter. Version 0.2.0 fixes the issue by switching to AES-GCM-SIV encryption with a random nonce and an individually derived encryption key, using HKDF, for each encrypted value. Database migrations are provided to automatically re-encrypt all credentials. | |||||
| CVE-2023-41913 | 1 Strongswan | 1 Strongswan | 2026-06-17 | N/A | 9.8 CRITICAL |
| strongSwan before 5.9.12 has a buffer overflow and possible unauthenticated remote code execution via a DH public value that exceeds the internal buffer in charon-tkm's DH proxy. The earliest affected version is 5.3.0. An attack can occur via a crafted IKE_SA_INIT message. | |||||
| CVE-2023-26463 | 1 Strongswan | 1 Strongswan | 2026-06-17 | N/A | 9.8 CRITICAL |
| strongSwan 5.9.8 and 5.9.9 potentially allows remote code execution because it uses a variable named "public" for two different purposes within the same function. There is initially incorrect access control, later followed by an expired pointer dereference. One attack vector is sending an untrusted client certificate during EAP-TLS. A server is affected only if it loads plugins that implement TLS-based EAP methods (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, EAP-PEAP, or EAP-TNC). This is fixed in 5.9.10. | |||||
| CVE-2022-4967 | 1 Strongswan | 1 Strongswan | 2026-06-17 | N/A | 7.7 HIGH |
| strongSwan versions 5.9.2 through 5.9.5 are affected by authorization bypass through improper validation of certificate with host mismatch (CWE-297). When certificates are used to authenticate clients in TLS-based EAP methods, the IKE or EAP identity supplied by a client is not enforced to be contained in the client's certificate. So clients can authenticate with any trusted certificate and claim an arbitrary IKE/EAP identity as their own. This is problematic if the identity is used to make policy decisions. A fix was released in strongSwan version 5.9.6 in August 2022 (e4b4aabc4996fc61c37deab7858d07bc4d220136). | |||||
| CVE-2022-40617 | 5 Canonical, Debian, Fedoraproject and 2 more | 5 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Fedora and 2 more | 2026-06-17 | N/A | 7.5 HIGH |
| strongSwan before 5.9.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service in the revocation plugin by sending a crafted end-entity (and intermediate CA) certificate that contains a CRL/OCSP URL that points to a server (under the attacker's control) that doesn't properly respond but (for example) just does nothing after the initial TCP handshake, or sends an excessive amount of application data. | |||||
| CVE-2021-45079 | 4 Canonical, Debian, Fedoraproject and 1 more | 5 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Extra Packages For Enterprise Linux and 2 more | 2026-06-17 | 5.8 MEDIUM | 9.1 CRITICAL |
| In strongSwan before 5.9.5, a malicious responder can send an EAP-Success message too early without actually authenticating the client and (in the case of EAP methods with mutual authentication and EAP-only authentication for IKEv2) even without server authentication. | |||||
| CVE-2021-41991 | 4 Debian, Fedoraproject, Siemens and 1 more | 46 Debian Linux, Fedora, Cp 1543-1 and 43 more | 2026-06-17 | 5.0 MEDIUM | 7.5 HIGH |
| The in-memory certificate cache in strongSwan before 5.9.4 has a remote integer overflow upon receiving many requests with different certificates to fill the cache and later trigger the replacement of cache entries. The code attempts to select a less-often-used cache entry by means of a random number generator, but this is not done correctly. Remote code execution might be a slight possibility. | |||||
| CVE-2021-41990 | 4 Debian, Fedoraproject, Siemens and 1 more | 37 Debian Linux, Fedora, 6gk5615-0aa00-2aa2 and 34 more | 2026-06-17 | 5.0 MEDIUM | 7.5 HIGH |
| The gmp plugin in strongSwan before 5.9.4 has a remote integer overflow via a crafted certificate with an RSASSA-PSS signature. For example, this can be triggered by an unrelated self-signed CA certificate sent by an initiator. Remote code execution cannot occur. | |||||
| CVE-2019-10155 | 5 Fedoraproject, Libreswan, Redhat and 2 more | 5 Fedora, Libreswan, Enterprise Linux and 2 more | 2026-06-17 | 3.5 LOW | 3.1 LOW |
| The Libreswan Project has found a vulnerability in the processing of IKEv1 informational exchange packets which are encrypted and integrity protected using the established IKE SA encryption and integrity keys, but as a receiver, the integrity check value was not verified. This issue affects versions before 3.29. | |||||
| CVE-2018-6459 | 1 Strongswan | 1 Strongswan | 2026-06-17 | 5.0 MEDIUM | 5.3 MEDIUM |
| The rsa_pss_params_parse function in libstrongswan/credentials/keys/signature_params.c in strongSwan 5.6.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted RSASSA-PSS signature that lacks a mask generation function parameter. | |||||
| CVE-2018-5388 | 3 Canonical, Debian, Strongswan | 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Strongswan | 2026-06-17 | 4.0 MEDIUM | 6.5 MEDIUM |
| In stroke_socket.c in strongSwan before 5.6.3, a missing packet length check could allow a buffer underflow, which may lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service while reading from the socket. | |||||
| CVE-2018-17540 | 3 Canonical, Debian, Strongswan | 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Strongswan | 2026-06-17 | 5.0 MEDIUM | 7.5 HIGH |
| The gmp plugin in strongSwan before 5.7.1 has a Buffer Overflow via a crafted certificate. | |||||
| CVE-2018-16152 | 3 Canonical, Debian, Strongswan | 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Strongswan | 2026-06-17 | 5.0 MEDIUM | 7.5 HIGH |
| In verify_emsa_pkcs1_signature() in gmp_rsa_public_key.c in the gmp plugin in strongSwan 4.x and 5.x before 5.7.0, the RSA implementation based on GMP does not reject excess data in the digestAlgorithm.parameters field during PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification. Consequently, a remote attacker can forge signatures when small public exponents are being used, which could lead to impersonation when only an RSA signature is used for IKEv2 authentication. This is a variant of CVE-2006-4790 and CVE-2014-1568. | |||||
| CVE-2018-16151 | 3 Canonical, Debian, Strongswan | 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Strongswan | 2026-06-17 | 5.0 MEDIUM | 7.5 HIGH |
| In verify_emsa_pkcs1_signature() in gmp_rsa_public_key.c in the gmp plugin in strongSwan 4.x and 5.x before 5.7.0, the RSA implementation based on GMP does not reject excess data after the encoded algorithm OID during PKCS#1 v1.5 signature verification. Similar to the flaw in the same version of strongSwan regarding digestAlgorithm.parameters, a remote attacker can forge signatures when small public exponents are being used, which could lead to impersonation when only an RSA signature is used for IKEv2 authentication. | |||||

| CVE-2017-9023 | 1 Strongswan | 1 Strongswan | 2026-06-17 | 4.3 MEDIUM | 7.5 HIGH |
| The ASN.1 parser in strongSwan before 5.5.3 improperly handles CHOICE types when the x509 plugin is enabled, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted certificate. | |||||
| CVE-2017-9022 | 3 Canonical, Debian, Strongswan | 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Strongswan | 2026-06-17 | 5.0 MEDIUM | 7.5 HIGH |
| The gmp plugin in strongSwan before 5.5.3 does not properly validate RSA public keys before calling mpz_powm_sec, which allows remote peers to cause a denial of service (floating point exception and process crash) via a crafted certificate. | |||||
| CVE-2017-11185 | 1 Strongswan | 1 Strongswan | 2026-06-17 | 5.0 MEDIUM | 7.5 HIGH |
| The gmp plugin in strongSwan before 5.6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a crafted RSA signature. | |||||
| CVE-2015-8023 | 2 Canonical, Strongswan | 2 Ubuntu Linux, Strongswan | 2026-06-17 | 5.0 MEDIUM | N/A |
| The server implementation of the EAP-MSCHAPv2 protocol in the eap-mschapv2 plugin in strongSwan 4.2.12 through 5.x before 5.3.4 does not properly validate local state, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via an empty Success message in response to an initial Challenge message. | |||||
| CVE-2015-4171 | 3 Canonical, Debian, Strongswan | 4 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Strongswan and 1 more | 2026-06-17 | 2.6 LOW | N/A |
| strongSwan 4.3.0 through 5.x before 5.3.2 and strongSwan VPN Client before 1.4.6, when using EAP or pre-shared keys for authenticating an IKEv2 connection, does not enforce server authentication restrictions until the entire authentication process is complete, which allows remote servers to obtain credentials by using a valid certificate and then reading the responses. | |||||
